Awash With Beauty

This month's theme for Stampin' Fancy Friday is Flower Power.  For this theme I have made a fairly quick card here using the Awash With Beauty Bundle.  I say quick because I "cased" the layout from a card on page 30 in the Annual SU! Catalog and I chose to feature a single floral stem rather than a full bouquet of flowers.

I did use multiple ink pads to ink up each image lending to a visually more dimensional appearance. If you look at the leaves you''ll see I blended Parakeet Party with Pool Party.  First I inked the entire image with Parakeet Party, then I used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party, and finally comes the stampin'.  When I pulled the stamp away to reveal the image it was super satisfying to see the naturally blended color.  I did the same process for the main floral bloom.  I used Pool Party and Orchid Oasis ink pads.

For a bit of added decor I included a leafy die cut of Orchid Oasis 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper.  I am a HUGE fan of the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine Pack.  You get all five of the In Colors and it's fantastic.  If you know me you know I LOVE twine and thread.  Three little pearls add the perfect delicate touch to this summery styled card.  They are the Iridescent Basic Pearls and they are lovely.
